Advocate Physician Partners (APP) [largest network of independent physicians in the Midwest] is partnering with eClinicalWorks to implement one of the biggest medical record information systems in the country.

The APP-eClinicialWorks partnership will offer, “ real-time access and updating of patient information anytime, anywhere and enhance communication between providers and patients.”

Approximately 75% of Americans receive their medical health care from doctors in small practices, however less than 15% of physician groups are using an Electronic Record System.

“It is clear that the federal government agrees with APP’s positive evaluation of the potential of EMR to reduce health care costs and improve outcomes. Leveraging technology has the potential to have many positive effects on the entire health care system in this country.” - Lee Sacks (chief medical officer for Advocate Health Care/ president of Advocate Physician Partners)

Advocate Physicians Partners has begun a pilot program in preparation of a phased implementation process that will get more than 1,200 physicians in 400 offices up and running on the EMR platform by mid-2012.
